At its core, my work is about the duality of existence: positive/negative, male/female, physical/spiritual and the dynamics that occur when they converge or mix like the spirituality of sex or the effects of time on people and things. Yet it's the unexpected, that I find most compelling about painting. Not just a simple surprise but the fact that I can surprise myself, like one does in having dreams. I aim to get lost in it everyday. Some days are more successful than others. When I paint I go through an entire range of feelings. There are times when I am almost in a trance, painting furiously. Sometime its tedious. Sometimes it actually feels like work.
